Members of the People’s National Convention (PNC) who participated in a demonstration against the proposed new voters’ register by the Electoral Commission might face some sanctions from their party.
PNC was part of the eight political parties who took part in the demonstration, dubbed ‘Tikusiya’, Saturday.
According to Henry Haruna Asante, National Vice Chairman of the party, there is a petition from some of the members to discipline those who moved away from the party’s position; which is for a new voters' register.
“There is a petition to sanction members of the party who participated in the anti-new voters' register demonstration, but the party is yet to make a decision on that,” he pointed out while speaking to sit-in host of Peace FM's morning show, ‘Kokrokoo’, Nana Yaw Kesse.
Meanwhile, the party seems to be divided over the Electoral Commission’s (EC) decision to compile a new voters’ register ahead of the 2020 general elections.
While one side is all for a new voters' register, the other faction which participated in the demonstration is against it.
